Abstract
The treatment results of 33 cases with laryngeal granuloma (contact granuloma, 31 cases and intubation granuloma, 2 cases) were evaluated. Five of six operated cases with contact granuloma showed post-operative recurrence. Following acid suppression therapy at bed time and nocturnal anti-reflux precautions, 25 of 30 cases with contact granuloma, and both 2 cases with intubation granuloma, showed resolution of their granuloma. The resolution occurred within 6 months in 76%, and within 1 year in 92% of cases with contact granuloma (between 2 weeks and 144 weeks, mean, 26.6 weeks).
